Tenants overview

A tenant houses the users in a company and the information about them. You must add a tenant to manage its properties using an On Demand module.

Applications used to manage tenant properties must participate in the consent flow provided by Microsoft Entra ID. This means a Global Administrator must provide admin consent when adding a tenant to On Demand. Admin consent is granted on behalf of the Microsoft Entra ID organization.

The Tenants page provides an overview of all your tenants. It shows the number of users, consent status, and provides access to admin consent for the different On Demand modules.

* 
NOTE: At present, authentication for On Demand is supported only with Azure Commercial tenants.
B2C tenants

In addition to the standard Microsoft Entra tenant, you can also add a B2C tenant. On the Tenant page, B2C tenants can be distinguished by the following icon next to the tenant name:

For more information on B2C tenants, see this Microsoft help page.

Adding tenants

When you add a tenant, you must have Microsoft Entra ID Global Administrator credentials in Microsoft Entra ID since part of the process of adding a tenant is done in the Microsoft Azure portal.

The Microsoft Entra ID Global Administrator role is the top level administrator role and has access to all features. By default, the person who signs up for a Microsoft Entra ID subscription is assigned the Global Administrator role for the tenant. Additional users can be assigned to the Global administrator role.

If you are in the U.S. region, once you select Tenants and click Add Tenant, you must select the type of tenant you are adding, whether commercial, GCC, or GCC High. When you click Add Commercial or GCC Tenant (or Add GCC High Tenant) you are redirected to the Microsoft tenant administration login page where you must log in with the Global Administrator credentials for the tenant.

If you are in any other region, you select Add Tenant and are immediately redirected to the Microsoft tenant administration login page where you must log in with the Microsoft Entra ID Global Administrator credentials for the tenant. After successful authentication, the Consent Grant dialog is displayed. You must confirm the consent grant.

About GCC and GCC High tenants

GCC or a GCC High tenants are available only for deployments in the U.S. region.

Microsoft 365 GCC tenants are typically used by US public sector organizations and the contractor organizations that service them. GCC High tenants provide Microsoft 365 services that adhere to additional US Department of Defense security requirements. Customer eligibility to GCC High tenants is restricted.

•
On Demand Migration supports GCC and GCC High tenants.
•
On Demand Audit supports GCC tenants.

For more information about U.S. Government GCC High endpoints, see Microsoft 365 U.S. Government GCC High endpoints.

For more information about commercial and GCC worldwide endpoints, see Microsoft 365 worldwide endpoints.

* 
NOTE: Commercial tenants are hosted and managed by Microsoft.
Prerequisites for adding tenants

Displaying a tenant name change

At a later date, if you change the display name of the tenant or the default domain name in Microsoft Entra ID, you can refresh the tenant in On Demand to immediately update the name. When you refresh the tenant, On Demand rereads the tenant information from your Microsoft Entra tenant to synchronize with the On Demand stored data.

To refresh the tenant, display the Tenants page and click the refresh icon that displays beside the tenant name on the tenant tile.
